Finnish climber Nalle Hukkataival has made an ascent of Klem Loskot’s Bugeleisen V14 at Maltatal, Austria. Well done. Bugeleisen climbs a striking, dark shield of rock with small crimps and powerful gastons. Not only is it one of the best hard problems in the world, it has remained arguably unrepeated for almost 13 years (partially [...]

It isn’t so often that climbers do something to step away from their own selfish desires to climb the next cool route, or sickest new boulder problem, but I wanted to bring to your attention a great organization the steps drastically away from that, called Climbers Against Cancer.

DPM has posted a fascinating video from NY, where a person is shown hammering away at rock. It’s safe to assume his intention is to climb it. It’s hard to know all of the details but it is sad to see such destructive behavior of a finite resource on public land. I have and continue [...]

Sunday I went to Moraine Park, which partially burned in a forest fire this fall and winter. There were a number of known projects I wanted to check out, a number of boulders with potential projects I wanted to look at, and several established boulders I wanted to put some more effort into. At the [...]

Unfortunate news out of Rocklands, South Africa. A lightning fire has burned most or all of the classic bouldering around Pakhuis Pass. More info from Climbing.co.za. Not only does this fire probably dramatically affect the amazing boulders in the area, but the beautiful flora and fauna are destroyed as well. The fire even took the [...]

Recently Dave Graham went to Red Rocks and made the second ascent of the stunning Meadowlark Lemon V15, first climbed by Paul Robinson in 2012. This is a beautiful problem, and I have much respect for Paul’s efforts. Dave also climbed a number of classics in the area, including Wet Dream V12 FA Ethan Pringle [...]
